What is python3-aenum

aenum includes a Python stdlib Enum-compatible data type, as well as a metaclass-based NamedTuple implementation and a NamedConstant class. An Enum is a set of symbolic names (members) bound to unique, constant values. Within an enumeration, the members can be compared by identity, and the enumeration itself can be iterated over. Support exists for unique values, multiple values, auto-numbering, and suspension of aliasing, plus the ability to have values automatically bound to attributes. A NamedTuple is a class-based, fixed-length tuple with a name for each possible position accessible using attribute-access notation as well as the standard index notation. A NamedConstant is a class whose members cannot be rebound; it lacks all other Enum capabilities, however.
